Signs of “Oxidization”

I realized my housemate aka my roommate is reaching his senior citizen stage when:

• He took a long time to reply my “Words with Friends” (scrabble game) on iPhone and ended up having to play the game on computer coz he couldn’t see the tiny words on his mobile phone screen :D

• Kept sending me the same valentine’s card not once but twice.

• When outsider referred him as “father” to one of our 29 YO friend (my roommate was very upset for a long time :D).

• Searching high and low for his missing car key at home, couldn’t find it.  Ended up had to use spare key to drive his car.  One hour later he found out the car key was actually in his pocket.

• The worst case of all was that he kept looking for his cigarette everywhere while the cigarette was already stuck in his mouth.  He only realized it when he tried sticking the 2^nd stick of cigarette in. :D

I am trying to console him to think positive:

• In a couple of years’ time, he can partially withdraw his EPF money for investment.

• Very soon he can use the “express lane” service for senior citizens at certain counters.

• Think of all the senior citizen discounts – big saver :).

 

Not too bad after all :D.

Age "perfectly"? :D

Bolster

When I was young, I was “assigned” to share a queen size bed with my younger sister in a room.  Initially, we were given two pillows and one big bolster to be shared.  How to share one bolster?  So, we fought every night for the bolster.  Mum was busy every night trying to sort us out (we got canned every night  :D).  In order to solve the problem, she made us another new big bolster.

After handing the new bolster to us, mum happily thought she had solved the problem and was able to have a goodnight sleep since then.  Unfortunately the new bolster couldn’t satisfy the two little devils, we fought again!!  We fought for the old bolster coz the new bolster was too hard and not nice to cuddle :D

Back to square one, mum was still very busy sorting us out every night.  Those day, very often you’d see my mum holding a cane hiding at the side of our room entrance, spying for the culprit who started the fight :D.

The fight was going on till I had my very own room. After that, my sister was “assigned” to share room with my youngest brother.  The fight continued there.  Poor little girl :D

浴池风波

我从小就爱玩水。还记得小时在老爸旧居的浴室里有一个大水池, 足可容得下几个小孩子。 调皮及爱嬉水的我, 经常偷偷地跳进水池“游泳”;p。总觉得自己很smart, “游”了将近一年, 父母竟然没有发觉我的小秘密;p。

有一天，父母像往常一样出外工作, 祖母总喜欢到邻家去玩牌, 留下10岁的我照顾4岁的妹妹。那一天, 我心情特别好,我决定要和小妹分享我的小小秘密 :)。 我告诉小妹我要带她进水池“游泳”, 条件是不可告诉任何人,小妹高兴地点头答应。于是我俩开开心心跳进水池里玩个天翻地复。

 

 

自那一天起, 我们每天都跳进水池里嬉水, 我每次都提醒小妹千万不可泄漏我们的秘密。小妹都乖乖地听我的话, 4天嬉水都平安过关。直到第5天, 我一时忘了提醒小妹我们之间的承诺。 想深一层, 经过多次提点, 小妹应该会懂得保守秘密吧! 怎知当天妈妈放工一踏进家门, 小妹竟开开心心将我们在水池里嬉水的秘密全盘托出…… 我这个傻小妹, 出卖了我, 害得我挨了一顿打骂! 事后每当用浴室都得给家人监视, 完全失去自由:(

P/S : 还记得妈妈这样骂我:「爸爸每天用水池的水来刷牙洗脸, 你竟跳进去游泳!!??」哈哈!! 想起当年实在是欠揍 :D
